Chapter 163 Aladdin's "Spirit Cat" Goes Online
The entire room fell silent once again.
Jiro's face turned pale. He clutched Xiangri's sleeve, his voice trembling, "What...what did it report?"
Wang Yue Ling pondered Ji Lang's mother's WeChat Moments post from this morning, as well as Taki's data records just now, and touched Luna's hind paw pads.
Luna responded with rhythmic meows.
Wang Yueling nodded pretentiously, as if she were really listening to what it was saying. "It reports a lot, like who skipped a lap, who secretly drank half a bottle of sports drink, who slept in the shade for ten minutes, it tells me everything..."
"Just now, Luna said that you skipped a set of swings during morning practice today. There was also a set where you stopped before you even finished swinging the racket."
Cilang instinctively shrank back, feeling incredibly guilty, his heart pounding.
"I...I wasn't being lazy, my hands were just sore..."
Luna meowed again.
Mochizuki Ryo continued to make a big deal out of nothing, "A sore hand is no excuse. You stayed up all night last night looking at Marui's merchandise and only slept for four hours."
Cilang was so shocked that his mouth gaped open, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Xiang Ri, standing beside him, looked at him, his expression shifting from curiosity to schadenfreude.
"Haha, Cilang, you're finished."
Luna turned around at the sound and meowed at Xiang Ri.
After listening, Wang Yueling glanced at Xiang Ri and then remembered the request for help from the parents she had received the previous night.
"Yue Ren, last night after your training, on your way home you secretly ate more than a dozen ice creams, got an upset stomach, and had to be taken away by an ambulance in the middle of the night. And you still have the nerve to laugh at Ci Lang..."
Xiang Ri's smile froze on his face.
The people around us looked at each other, their expressions becoming increasingly complicated.
Some people started backing away, some started flipping through their memories of slacking off, and some even started praying silently in their hearts.
Immersed in the fantasy world of supernatural novels, Shinobu stared at Luna and suddenly spoke, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Ling... then it's a good thing, right? Will making a wish on it bring good luck?"
Mochizuki Ryo raised an eyebrow, quite friendly to Shinobu who had provided the inspiration. He also wanted to know what outrageous wish the other party wanted to make.
"Of course."
He said it with great seriousness, "My Luna is a lucky cat, you know? If you get her good fortune, you'll pass your exams, win prizes, and even perform exceptionally well in sports. She's just a bit arrogant; she doesn't let most people touch her, and even if you do, it won't work."
As soon as these words were spoken, the attitude of the crowd that had been hiding behind them changed instantly.
The team members' eyes lit up instantly. They exchanged glances with their teammates for a few seconds, and unconsciously took a step forward. The fear they had felt earlier vanished, replaced by a surge of anticipation.
Just kidding, this is a civet cat that brings good luck!
Who wouldn't want to touch it and get some good fortune!
Shinobu took half a step forward impatiently, squatted down, looked at Luna, and spoke in a serious tone that didn't sound like he was talking to a cat.
"Luna, could you help me find my pen that's been missing for almost a week? It's very important to me."
Ryo Mochizuki originally thought that, given Oshitari's imagination, it would be some kind of fun wish, but it turned out to be looking for a pen, which happened to be a perfect match for her major.
Luna glanced at him and meowed.
"Luna said your pen fell into the gap behind the locker in the dressing room. It probably slipped out of your pocket when you were changing."
Shinobu paused for a moment, then turned and ran towards the locker room.
She ran a couple of steps and then stopped, turning back to look at Wang Yueling. "Really? But I looked for it there the day before yesterday."
"Why don't you go and see for yourself?"
Shinobu adjusted his glasses, turned around, and continued running.
The people around watched Shinobu's retreating figure, their expressions becoming even more complex.
"I want to make a wish too! I want to make a wish too!"
After seeing the kitten help Shinobu fulfill his wish, Jiro followed suit, squatted down, nervously rubbed his hands, and carefully extended a finger to gently touch Luna's fur.
It's soft and squishy, just as nice to touch as I imagined.
Luna glanced at him, flicked her tail, and didn't dodge.
Cilang's eyes instantly lit up, and he quickly closed them to make a wish:
"I hope I won't get sleepy during tomorrow's match and can concentrate the whole time! I also hope I can eat the limited edition strawberry mousse cake after the match! I hope... I hope Ling Shao scolds me, but he won't scold me too harshly!"
Luna tilted her head and looked at him, then leaned her head closer and rubbed it against his fingertips.
Cilang's cheeks flushed with excitement.
"It rubbed against me! It rubbed against me willingly! Did my wish come true?"
Wang Yueling looked up at the innocent Cilang and immediately launched into a motivational speech, "If you go to bed on time tonight, you'll play well. Luck is just an aid; the key is yourself. As for asking me to scold you less, that depends on your performance."
Jiro blinked, then nodded vigorously.
"Okay, I promise I won't stay up late tonight and will go to bed early! I'll do my best tomorrow too."
Seeing this, Xiang Ri was no longer afraid. He rushed over and patted Luna's head with a devout expression, "Your jumping ability is going up, up, up! Get points in the competition! Tomorrow I want to execute an even more spectacular aerial interception! And please, don't get yelled at by Ling!"
Luna was startled by his sudden movement and shrank into Wang Yueling's arms, but quickly peeked out again and sniffed Xiang Ri's fingers with her little nose.
"Wow!!! Its nose is all wet and warm!"
Luna yawned and meowed at him.
Xiang Ri was so excited, her voice changed, "Did you hear that! It meowed!"
"Ling, did Luna say anything about me?"
Wang Yueling continued to fabricate stories, her tone sincere and devoid of any artistic embellishment: "Yue Ren, your jumping ability is already sufficient, but your subtle movements are still too obvious. It says you need to observe your opponent's positioning more, instead of just focusing on showing off your skills."
Xiang Ri thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
"I've got it!"
Shishido stood beside him, looking at the very intelligent little black cat, then turned to look at Feng beside him.
"Chōtarō, do you want to touch it?"
Feng's face flushed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.
"Then let's go."
Feng slowly walked over, squatted down, and said softly, "Luna, could you please bless my brother so he can get better from his cold soon?"
Luna tilted her head and looked at him for two seconds, then stretched out her healthy little paw and gently touched his finger.
Feng's eyes suddenly turned red.
"It...it touched me."
"It's bringing you good luck." Cilang patted Feng's arm, his tone sincere. "Your little brother's cold will definitely be cured tomorrow."
Feng nodded vigorously, holding the hand that had been touched to her chest as if she were holding some extraordinary treasure.
Hiyoshi crossed his arms and watched this scene, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Subordinates overthrowing their superiors..."
Feng didn't hear it; he was completely immersed in the joy of "the kitten agreeing to my request."
"I hope that I can cooperate better with Chotaro in tomorrow's doubles match."
Shishido followed behind Ootori, quickly patted the kitten's head, her ears turning bright red, clearly a little embarrassed, but still earnestly made a wish.
Kabaji walked over from behind the crowd and squatted down in front of Luna, simply watching the kitten quietly. Luna tilted her head and looked at him, then meowed.
Birchwood's dull eyes brightened slightly.
"cute."
He reached out and gently touched Luna's little paw with his index finger. Luna didn't flinch; instead, she stretched out her little paw pads and rested them on his finger.
Kaba felt the soft touch, and a big smile spread across his blank face.
Seeing that the regulars were unharmed after touching the cat, the people around them became bolder.
Someone shouted, "I want to make a wish too!" and the crowd began to stir. Everyone chattered and gathered around, their eyes fixed eagerly on Luna in Wang Yueling's arms, as if she were some rare and exotic creature.
"I was here first!"
"You were just shaking!"
"I wasn't trembling! I was just excited!"
"Let me touch it first, I have an English pop quiz tomorrow!"
……
Looking at the chaotic scene, Wang Yueling couldn't help but laugh out loud. He lifted Luna a little higher to prevent those hands from touching her.
"Line up, line up, everyone line up!"
"My son is still a baby, please don't scare him."
The crowd immediately lined up obediently.
Each one was extremely devout, afraid that their hearts wouldn't be answered and the kitten wouldn't grant their wishes.
Wang Yueling suppressed her laughter so hard she almost suffered internal injuries.
He cleared his throat. "One at a time, touch them gently, don't touch my son's injured paw. If it gets impatient, stop right away, understand?"
Everyone nodded hurriedly, like they were pounding garlic.
The line moved forward little by little, each person making a wish earnestly, carefully touching the kitten, and then retreating to the side with a satisfied look on their face.
Wishes are varied and include all sorts of things.
First-graders hope to be selected for the regular team next time; some hope to pass their final math exam; some hope the cafeteria will add curry pork chop rice tomorrow; and some hope the girl they have a crush on will agree to go on a date with them...
Luna nestled lazily in Wang Yueling's arms, her chin raised in a haughty manner.
It accepts its new identity as a "mystic kitten" well, and occasionally it will meow in a pretentious way, drawing out the sound as if it is agreeing.
The person who made the wish became even more excited, covering their mouth and giggling, saying that it had granted their wish! It understood!
The scene was incredibly lively.
Even Sakaki Taro looked on with a bit of helplessness, but didn't say anything to stop them. The training had been too tiring lately, and it was a rare treat for the kids to relax like this before the competition.
Atobe stood beside the group, arms crossed, looking disgusted.
"childish."
He scoffed, "I don't need to rely on cats for good luck, that's too unglamorous."
That's what he said, but his gaze couldn't help but drift towards Luna. Looking at her soft paw pads, her black nose, and her swishing black tail, he felt a strange itch in his heart.
Keigo Atobe is the captain of Hyotei Academy. How could he possibly queue up with others to pet cats for good luck? What would that look like if word got out?
He stood with his arms crossed, chin raised, looking completely indifferent, showing no intention of moving an inch.
But Luna had her eye on him.
The kitten peeked its head out from Mochizuki Ryo's arms and looked straight at Atobe.
It tilted its head, its heterochromatic eyes shining like jewels in the sunlight. Then it raised its uninjured left front paw, waved it in Atobe's direction, and let out a soft meow, as if beckoning him to come over.
"Meow……"
Atobe paused for a moment, a faint pink tinge appearing on the tips of his ears. He turned his face away, pretending not to see, but instead of backing away, he unconsciously straightened up a little.
But Luna wouldn't give up, clinging to Mochizuki Ryo's arm and trying to pull herself towards Atobe. Her short legs kicked and she kept meowing softly, her voice carrying a hint of coquetry.
"Meow..."
Atobe still didn't make a move.
"Meow meow meow..."
This time the meow was loud and urgent, with a "If you don't come over, I'm going to get angry" attitude.
Everyone turned to look at Atobe.
